Knickers

This isnt really that much of a problem really, i have 2 GS boy and girl 8 months and 6 months old. They are continually pinching mine and dd knickers out the wash basket, bathroom floor, bedroom floor, whether clean or used. Then they proceed to have a tug of war all over the house with them, fighting each other for them. This i really dont care about but yesterday dh brothers were here and they had a fight over my nickers infront of them and its getting a bit embarassing to say the least. Sometimes they get dh boxers and have a play with them but they never touch my sons boxers for some reason (cant blame them really i put them in the wm with gloves on lol) Why do they do this?? x lmao

    Why do they do it? Because they can. Put the washing basket behind a closed door and tidy up......

    I don't really have a solution but mine does this with tights and those pop sock things. He goes through the washing when it's waiting to go in and only picks these out!
    The only thing I can suggest is locking your laundry basket out of reach, although if yours is anything like mine the moment your backs turned they'll be straight there and out before you know it :o

    At this age children do not know the difference between toys and other objects. They are exploring and have discovered that stretchy knickers make good play things. Put them out of reach and find something equivalent for them to play with though be careful with long pieces of fabric as they could get caught around their necks, so supervise them when they are playing.

    Gotta agree:D

    Don't leave your baggies on the floor:D

    I've got a Brabantia laundry bin.

    It has a heavy wooden lid, with a hole in the middle so you can drop smalls (& not so smalls:rotfl:), in without even lifting the lid.

    Has a cream canvas liner, so don't have to carry it downstairs, just pull it out like a bin liner.

    Hehe reminds me of a time i got undressed in my bedroom and went off to have a bath to find my undies which were on the bed now a chewed mess on the floor, yes it was Perry the pup, since then i make sure all my clothes are out of reach from the fur ball.
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    This reminds me of a story in my vets.

    They put up on the notice-board "operation of the month" with all the gory details inc pics!

    A dog had been brought to the vets, ill, after xrays they found a blockage.
    The vets operated straight away and what came out only a pair of Calvin Klein knickers!!
    The wife said she had NEVER owned such a brand, the husband said he'd NEVER seen them before!!
    They put it down to the fact that the son may have had a lady friend round!!!!!!!!!

    Dogs have a very good sense of smell and possibly even clean knickers smell yummy, never mind the ones ready for the wash.
    My lad has now fallen out with knickers and fallen in love with bra straps !
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)
